'Edge of Tomorrow' helmer Doug Liman is reuniting with Cruise for the film.

Principal photography has kicked off in Georgia on the Universal and Cross Creek film, which stars Cruise as Barry Seal, a hustler and pilot who is recruited by the CIA to run one of the biggest covert operations in U.S. history.

Liman, who worked with Cruise on Edge of Tomorrow, describes the film as "equal parts satire, suspense and comedy."
